automatic warm up is adjusted.
3If there is still residual heat on the cooking
zone (display h), the automatic warm up is
not performed.
The length of time that the automatic warm up func-
tion operates depends on the heat setting selected.

Safety cut-out
Cooking surface
•If after switching on the cooking surface, a heat
setting is not set for a cooking zone within approx.
10 seconds, the cooking surface automatically
switches itself off.
•If one or more sensor fields are covered by objects
(a pan, cloths, etc.) for longer than approx. 10 sec-
onds, a signal sounds and the cooking surface
switches off automatically.
•If all cooking zones are switched off, the cooking
surface automatically switches itself off after ap-
prox. 10 seconds.
Control panel
•When the appliance is switched off, if one or more
of the sensor fields on the control panel are cov-
ered for more that 10 seconds, an acoustic signal
sounds. The acoustic signal switches itself off au-
tomatically when the sensor fields are no longer
covered.
Cooking zones
•If one of the cooking zones is not switched off after
a certain time, or if the heat setting is not modified,
the relevant cooking zone switches off automati-
cally.

Tips on Cooking and Frying
3Information on acrylamides
According to the latest scientific knowledge,
intensive browning of food, especially in prod-
ucts containing starch, can constitute a health
risk due to acrylamides. Therefore we recom-
mend cooking at the lowest possible tempera-
tures and not browning foods too much.
Cookware
•You can recognise good cookware from the bot-
toms of the pans. The bottom should be as thick
and flat as possible.
•Cookware made of enamelled steel or with alumin-
ium or copper bottoms can leave discolorations on
the glass ceramic surface which are difficult or im-
possible to remove.
Energy saving
2Always place cookware on the cooking zone
before it is switched on.
2If possible, always place lids on the pans.
2Switch cooking zones off before the end of the
cooking time, to take advantage of residual
heat.
2Bottom of pans and cooking zones should be
the same size.

Installation Instructions
Safety instructions
The laws, ordinances, directives and standards in
force in the country of use are to be followed (safety
regulations, proper recycling in accordance with the
regulations, etc.)
Installation may only be carried out by a qualified
electrician.
The minimum distances to other appliances and
units are to be observed.
A protective floor must be installed under the ap-
pliance.
The cut surfaces of the worktop are to be protected
against moisture using a suitable sealant.
The sealant seals the appliance to the work top with
no gap.
Do not use silicon sealant between the appliance
and the work top.
Avoid installing the appliance next to doors and un-
der windows. Otherwise hot cookware may be
knocked off the rings when doors and windows are
opened.
1WARNING!
Risk of injury from electrical current.
•The electrical mains terminal is live.
•Make electrical mains terminal free of voltage.
•Observe connection schematic.
•Observe electrical safety rules.
•Ensure anti-shock protection through correct in-
stallation by a qualified electrician.
•The appliance must be connected to the electrical
supply by a qualified electrician.
1IMPORTANT!
Risk of injury from electrical current.

tions can make the terminal overheat.
•Have the clamping joints correctedly installed by a
qualified electrician.
•Use strain relief clamp on cable.
•In the event of single-phase or two-phase connec-
tion, the appropriate mains cable of type H05BB-F
Tmax 90° (or higher) must be used.
•If this appliance’s mains cable is damaged, it must
be replaced by a special cable (type H05BB-F
Tmax 90°; or higher). The latter is available from
the Customer Care Department.
A device must be provided in the electrical installa-
tion which allows the appliance to be disconnected
from the mains at all poles with a contact opening
width of at least 3 mm.
